1.) I don't get it. No, I'm not talking about the girl at my work who has started using this REALLY high pitched/fake voice every time someone gives her something, although, I don't get that either and quite frankly it makes me want to chop off my ears Van Gogh style...but that's beside the point.
What I really don't get is this whole Helium shortage thing and how it's happening? I just heard that my mom went into the store the other day to get some Balloons for the sister's birthday and they told her "I think I have enough in the tank to do what you need." What!? I just don't get how this shortage is even happening. And google is not really answering my question. This brought on a sequence of emails and a conversation with my sister who is concerned that her soon-to-be 1 year old baby boy won't have balloons at his Circus party in a couple of weeks. hmmm.. never knew I would take helium for granted. Or balloons. Don't worry, I assured her that we would be fine. I mean, we are having a Circus party. We HAVE to have balloons.
2.) Can someone please explain to my why I love sweets? I've tried to train myself not to love them simply by not purchasing them or eating them (most of the time) but sometimes I just want candy. Plain and simple. It's SUPER annoying.
3.) There is this guy at my work that clips his finger nails ALL THE TIME at his desk. Did I mention that he's just in a cube and not in the comfort of his own office where he can shut the door so no one can know what he's doing? yeah. It happens a lot. Makes me cringe a little. Probably only because I find everything that the guy does super annoying.
4.) The appeal of camping in weather that has any percent chance of raining.
I wish I wasn't such a pansy. haha, merp.
5.) How people are so oblivious to the real life things that are happening around them. Um. #wake up, #growup #getreal.
6.) How some people decide that something is OK to do when it's clearly not socially acceptable. yes, I'm all for standing out and being yourself and original but THAT thing you just told me/did?... straight up weird.
7.) Why Lindsay Lohan is ALWAYS all up in the Celeb Buzz? Dude, I get it. She's been hecka cracked out for the last few years, went through her thief stage and people like drama. Yes, she's drama. I just feel bad that she's been in the media so much lately that I literally rolled my eyes when her face popped up about being hospitalized after a car accident today. Heartless? Nah...I feel bad that she wrecked her Porsche.
8.) How time is flying by like it is? Cole's already been gone for over a month. Can you believe it? I think that makes us officially a quarter of the way through this whole Canada thing! woot woot!
9.) Why some people don't just get together. You know.. date, hook up or whatever? I see some people and I'm like.. Really? How can you not see that you are totally meant for each other and this *wink wink* could work. Or the opposite even. I see people together sometimes and I'm like "GEE! How are you still in this "relationship" or whatever you call this."
10.) People who shout the most personal stories and basically put themselves on blast to the entire office. Like, dude/lady..that crap is embarrassing but by all means, continue talking loud so I can listen, snicker quietly to myself, and (occasionally) talk about it to other people via office communicator!
I promise I'm not a bad person. ...;)
HAPPY WEEKEND!

Efron update!
I'm sitting here eating my lunch when this name popped into my head:
Zac. Efron.
Then I got upset. I don't like when he's not in movies and falls under the Celeb Buzz radar. Say what you want about him...homeboy's got it going on. still.
Of course I did a little imdb stalking. Anybody who loves Zac knows that he did a film called the Paperboy with Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and and John Cusack. The thing is, no official movie trailer has been released (to my knowledge) but there are all sorts of clips up on Youtube from the movie. Why? Apparently it was premiered at the Cannes film festival so there is tons of stuff out there. Google it. Delicious pics. But umm.. when can we watch it? that's what I want to know.
I've read the reviews of the film at the festival and even though Efron's character hooks up with Nicole Kidman, I still want to see it. I don't like when there is all this crap out there but it's all over in France. Like, get real. Come to America!
Ohhhh and another tidbit of knowledge?! they've updated his IMDB with three new movies. One in Post production called "At any Price," where he plays a farmer's (Dennis Quaid) son... My first thought? MUSCLES!
But the best is one of them that is supposedly in pre-production called "Townies." This was just updated to his IMDB last week so the only description available is: A comedy centered on a frat boy whose behavior affects a local neighbor's family life. His costar? SETH ROGAN. haha. you know that crap is going to be good. I love him.
Ahhhh... well that's your Zac Efron update for now.
But really. We need to see more of him besides when he has a new movie come out. I need to see his face pop up more often. Can I get a "WOOT WOOT?!"

Wednesday's Quotes and Such.
"Victoria would have been like "oh, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii."
-Liz
There is this part in the Chernobyl Diaries where they are all sitting in the van and this Russian guard is walking around the van and looking in the windows. Of course, it's a little awkward and creepy so the people in the van are just silent and try to not look at the guard. Liz was right when she leaned over in the movie and told me how she thought Vicky would react. ^ 100% correct. Vicky will say stuff like that in moments similar to those. It's great. Not only am I going to miss her when she moves to Australia next week but I'm pretty sure that anybody who reads this blog segment will miss her comments. Dang it!
"WAS THAT CHRIS?!?!" *insert a lame attempt at mocking my ugly cry/laugh*
-Nieko mocking me over and over again about one of my reactions during a scary movie
Sometimes I overreact. Sue me. But really, I loved Jessie McCartney's character for some reason and I really didn't want [THAT] to be his character. Like, at all. I was so shocked and freaking out that I really didn't get to fully appreciate the little midget/baby zombie that was in the following scene. BOOOOOOOO. curse you dramatic reactions! curse you ugly cry! *shakes fist*.
"Geez Jess, always one step behind." -me
"One step behind? hahaha *whisper* She's a gimp too!"
-Willy about Jess
I was joking with Jessica about how she was one step behind with the conversations we were having because she was too busy blog stalking some people. Of course in my head I was meaning it in that way AND the fact that she tore her ACL a while ago so she's always complaining that she can't keep up with people so she is literally always one step behind everyone. Yeah... willy caught on a little late. haha.
"Were you just singing 'Everybody wants to be a Cat?'"
-Amanda to Nieko who was CLEARLY singing Backstreet Boys.
Nieko for some reason started busting out singing backstreet Boys this weekend (you know, "EVERYBODYYYY yeeeeahhhh" except he only sang the "Everybody" part) and Amanda really thought he was singing the song from the Aristocats. We didn't understand how she would even get that so we were laughing pretty hard, shaking our heads and what not. However, Liz and her decided to sing it on the way home to prove that there is a part in the song that does indeed sound like the beginning of the backstreet boys song....yeah.. I still don't get it.
"It's not my fault you're a Vampire." -Jamie about my sleeping habits
"um, first of all--I'm not THAT pale." -Me
"Yeah you are. And I don't take it back." -Jamie
"It's not my fault I wasn't born a Mexican like you. Would you rather be a Mexican or a vampire?" -Me
"....Jury's out." -Jamie
If you can't tell already, my sister and I are pretty alike so we have some of the most random conversations over the phone. I'd have to say she's my favorite sister ;) But really...would you rather? haha.
"I've always been an emotional person..that's Part of the reason why my ex fiance broke up with me."
-Kid in the ward after he just got done telling everyone (OVER THE PULPIT) that he got engaged when he was on his service mission.
I know, I know...I shouldn't make fun. But it was one of the most awkward moments in a testimony meeting that I've sat through in a while. The kind where you pretend that you didn't just hear what was said because it's too painful to sit through and you know that if you keep looking and pretending that you aren't going to laugh that you will just explode? yeah. Guys, it was so bad. Even worse was that I was sitting next to some girl that I didn't know and I almost hit her to make sure she was listening. Note to self--you can't do that to strangers.
"I won't even tell you what the Catholics do at Lagoon when they have their lagoon days.."
-Kid in the ward again
OK, so this one was super funny just because this kid is a little special. I was dying. I mean, now I kind of want to know what he thinks the Catholics do at Lagoon. I mean, don't tease us. Tell us, FOR THE LOVE!! I heart testimony meeting in single's wards for so many reasons.
"My brother wants us to see a physical therapist to work on our relationship." ...later in the episode..
"I've been to Chicago but I've never went to the beach"
-Theresa Guidice, Real Housewives of NJ
really?! how did she make it as far as she did on Celebrity Apprentice? Just sayin'. Physical therapist? Beach?? Chicago? omg.
"Do you know whats going to be sad? When one of us dies." *insert one of the ugliest/botox cries ever.
-Vicky, Real Housewives of OC
First of all, this lady is freaking crazy these days. You'd think she was perma-drunk or something because she's all over the place. The best part of this was that they were in Costa Rica planting trees together in the rain forest which was totally a bonding moment and honestly looked like a really happy and awesome experience. If anything I would be thinking about life and nature or something! nope. She randomly starts thinking about one of them dying. CUCKOO. Straight up 'Cat Lady Crazy.' They asked her if she'd been drinking too much because it was that off the wall.. she said she hadn't. So freaking funny. I wish I could find the clip because I was DYING. The way she said it, the ugly cry through her botox while planting trees in a beautiful place? Hot mess.
"Is Pansy a rude word?" -Candace
"No, that's pussy." -Amanda
bahahahahahaha. If you only knew the group we were hanging out with that night. smh. I'm don't think they appreciated this comment as much as I did. *insert everyone else awkwardly laughing and me BUSTING up. Yes, I'm a child.
-------------------Bonus Text Pic!
Lastly, I'm not good at texting on my iPhone and probably never will. I'm especially not good at texting while talking to people in real life at the same time. Well, I was texting Nieko the other night and I meant to say that I wouldn't TAKE him seriously anymore if he did a certain something that he wouldn't consider doing anyways and well, Autocorrect got me! I especially love that he calls me out via hashtag. So great.

I'm a little teapot
I know it's been a while since I've really written down some of my thoughts. Aside from the weekend updates, random junk, and quotes every Wednesday, that's been about all I've blogged about for the last couple of weeks. Here's the thing--Sometimes I choose to pretend that my brain isn't on over load and that I'm 100 %, completely sane. I am not. But the last couple of days I've been able to just breathe and be lazy [thank you Hulu+, thank you Revenge] and not care about stupid stuff simply because I chose to take that uncomfortable step of facing one of my problems. It has been SOOOOOO nice! [hence the lack of posts filled with super annoying rants about the mentioned topic that were drafted and then deleted.]
Without going into the [not-so-much-anymore] sob story of my brother getting his heart broken by someone who had quickly become my good friend, I will just say that I was finally able to confront some of the issues I was having with the whole ordeal. Sure, it wasn't a face-to-face confrontation but it was written, it was rational and I feel so much better about it all.
I can NOT express how important it is to not keep things bottled up inside.
Think about a tea kettle. As you let the kettle sit on heat (the things that are bothering you) the water will begin to boil and turn into steam which takes up more room than the water. Once the water is boiling hard enough (too many things happening in your life that you can't seem to get over) so much steam is created and built up that it can no longer be slowly released through the tiny hole (controlled). The pressure is built up in the kettle, causing the steam to be quickly released through the hole causing it it do that horrible whistling sound (basically exploding/blowing its top..you know what I mean).
Sure, this process is great if you're making tea but in the name of lame analogies, let's pretend that we aren't making tea and that you are really the kettle. The problem is the heat and what do we do when we have a problem? We get rid of it! We wouldn't have all of that steam built up if we removed the problem before we reached our personal boiling point.
Wow. Now that "I'm a little teapot" song is starting to make sense.
I know that it can seem easier to just sit back when there is a problem and hope that over time we will just get over it or that things will just work itself out because honestly, things do eventually work themselves out in one way or another. But I know for me, I think things through over and over again until I have taken care of it or faced the issue. I guess I've learned that from years of "he said, she said" and never facing things dead on for myself because I thought it would be awkward or I was scared of the confrontation. I've changed. Now, I can't stop thinking about it UNTIL there is a confrontation. Sometimes it takes me a little bit of time to get to that point (like the last couple of weeks) but I promise, once it's done there is a HUGE weight lifted off of your shoulders.
If there is something that is making you reach your boiling point, get rid of it. Right now. Face whatever fear you are having and realize that you are going to feel so much better once it is taken care of. Chances are, if there is another person involved, they are probably just waiting for you to come to them and are probably thinking the same things you are. Be the bigger person; Take care of it!!! I can't tell you how many awkward encounters I saved myself from just by saying how I felt...
Write, Say it, cut it out of your life, do whatever you've got to do so you don't explode.
Let's not let ourselves get so steamed up that people have to "hear [us] shout." It's annoying and no one wants to hear the same story from someone who could solve their issues by just getting rid of whatever or talking it out.
So do it.
Leggo.

Ok, bonus vid from the sister:
I'm still waiting for my nephew to say "Aunt Jenn" or any other variation of a cool name but I guess that won't come until he can really say some actual words. But Mason can kind of say "Hey" and "Moo" now! See for yourself:

Happy 2 Years @ FC.
I want you to picture where you were two years ago. What did you look like? who did you hang out with? what were your insecurities? What were your goals/ambitions? Who were you, really?
As I contemplated these questions this morning on my commute to work I realized that I've truly changed a ton over the last two years. If you didn't know me back then...well... count your blessings. I was a bit of a wreck for a while. haha. OK, Jk. But I was just in a major transition period of my life and it was a little stressful.
Two years ago today I was a recent graduate from BYU-Idaho with a slight obsession with tanning, who had zero friends in the area, was trying to heal over some drama/heart ache, had a small distaste for Utah and my reason for needing to be here, was scared out of my mind about the future, and was anxiously rolling up to my first day on the job at FranklinCovey. Can you believe that was two years ago today?! I can not.
Within a matter of weeks I realized that I couldn't have asked for a better starting job out of college. I work with wonderful people who have truly become great friends and I'm acquiring skills and experience that I know will benefit my future. This morning I was really able to recognize the Lord's hand in every step of my life that has gotten me to this point and made me this person that I am and for that I am so grateful.
Today I'm really overwhelmed with how grateful I am to be where I am today and for the people who've helped me get to this point. For roommates in college who helped me realize my talents and pushed me down the right career path, for a sister who made the right choices to bring her to Utah where I knew I needed to go too, for Idaho friends who made me realize that life is too short to care what other people think or to get caught up in things that don't matter, for parents who've supported me and loved me through every decision I've made, for the Utah friend's I've made in the last year who've accepted me for who I am, and for Franklin Covey for giving me a shot.
I wouldn't be me without any of these people or the experiences I've had over the last two years. I know I still have a lot to learn but I'm excited to see what's around the corner! Most importantly, I'm happy.
I just need time to slow down a bit.
It.has.FLOWN!!!!
oh how I love a nice self evaluation on a lovely Friday in June (can you believe it's June?) dang.
Happy Anniversary to Me!...mmm... does that mean I have an excuse to eat a cupcake or something?! gah.

Oh yeah, Wednesday, Yeah!
"Why would you trust a girl who has [Boobs] bigger than her head?"
-Tamera about Alexis, Real Housewives of OC
I used the word boobs instead because mom doesn't like the "Titty" word. [haha. oops. I might has well have just written it correctly.] I just think it's funny she said this about her on the same season where Tamera had her breast reduction and started referring to herself as a member of the "itty bitty titty committee" every other episode. Let's just say, this girl had a TON removed herself and she's STILL a C. But really she makes a good point. I don't think boobs should be bigger than your head like Alexis' dis-proportioned body. Unless you're Big Ang, maybe.
"You were starting to sound like the smoker woman so I hung up."
-Cole talking about my distorted voice over FaceTime
You know who I'm talking about right? That nasty lady on all those commercials about smoking or whatever? [I honestly have never watched the full commercial or radio ad because Cole and I get SO creeped out by her voice that we either mute it or turn the channel. No joke] Well I guess FaceTime was skipping and my voice was getting distorted so Cole just Hung up on me because I sounded like her. She really creeps us out that bad. That lady is a nightmare.
"I feel like we had a hot dog eating contest at girl's camp and you won."
-Jessica to Vicky
hahaha. We joke to Vicky all the time about hot dogs and honestly, it's just because of the movie "Mean Girls." Totally just a joke. So when Jessica brought this up while we were eating ice cream last week (with out knowing about the ongoing joke), Nieko and I were dying! Maybe it was the way she said it...or just the fact that it was about a Hot Dog Eating contest and Vicky and that she randomly brought it up? Idk. funny.
(oh if you didn't notice we have a stray who started hanging out with us so you might see her quoted every now and again. Ok, so she's not a stray. She's Liz, Vicky and Amanda's friend who is home for the summer. She's funny!)
"If if was my own poop, it would be OK."
-Jessica
I've never watched Jackass 3D and probably never will. But the boys had me watch the part on YouTube where Stevo gets launched up super high in a PORTA POTTY. Um. Beyond nasty. I mean, it doesn't take a scientist to know that when launched, the contents in said porta potty would not stay put. (gross, I know) Well, Jessica brought it up for some reason (again, while eating) and went on to say that she would totally be fine if it was her own #2. WHAT THE H, right?! uh no. She even went further to say that it would be fine if the porta potty was used by only people she knew, namely us. Umm pretty sure she just met us and that would be equally disgusting. haha. she's crazy. that show is crazy. I would never do it. don't YouTube it. the end.
"We should be Italian."
-Nieko
This was followed by a more in depth late night conversation about how loyal, family oriented and awesome we were. Yeah, it totally happened. We love the Italians. Must be all the shows we watch.
"I like birds."
-Hooters waitress to Nieko about his last name
What do you even say to someone who says something that dumb to you? It's like, were you trying to flirt or do you just really like birds? If you're looking for a bigger tip-- "Show us your [moooooves]" or something. jk jk.
"Is that like, a popular song right now?"
-Amanda about the song, "California Love."
Guaranteed each of you know what song I'm talking about without you hearing me sing it or hearing it on the radio. Right? Ok, maybe a couple don't. Picture me singing this. "California Looove. // CALIFORNIA...knows how to party. CALIFORNIA....knows how to partyyyy........//In the citaaaay, City of Compton. We keep it Rockin'. We keep it Rockin." You got it right? Well it was on the radio and we were singing it and Amanda really wondered if it was a popular song right now that she'd just never heard. So funny. RIP 2Pac.
"Dick's, [F U]. Can't get a job there either!"
-Nieko
hahahaha. Pretty self explanatory. We were just driving by the mall at night and he passionately said this and we couldn't help but laugh. But really, give the kid a break. Job hunting is harrrrd. And really, Dick's.. Pretty sure Nieko and his family keep you in business.
"I've never seen you get so excited about a baby."
-Willy as I'm hitting him to notice this really cute baby at the zoo.
He knows I love tiny things but yes he was shocked because I was talking about an actual human baby which doesn't happen often. Unless it's about Mason of course! I should really learn to tone it down with the hitting thing when I get excited. I really can't control it but I assume it's really annoying. Sorry to those I do this too all the time, [namely LIZ].
"Wait, that was you? I really thought that was the peacock!!"
-Ricky talking about our little encounter with the peacock at the zoo.
This was later followed with comments like "That was my favorite part of the zoo." "Do it again," and other stuff like that. If you don't know what I'm talking about... haha. I'm sorry. Shortened version of it is that I do a pretty good peacock call, the peacocks usually always talk back to me, I had an audience at the zoo, and it was a little embarrassing. The end. haha. OK, It was fun. But really, they should hire me because I had those 20+ people entertained. Basically, if I put a hat out on the ground, I probably would have gotten some tips. Just saying.
"I hate those girls. Even Rosie... She doesn't talk and I want to punch her in the face. Every time they are on and James comes in the house, I have to turn the channel because they make him want to throw stuff at the TV..and I don't want the TV to break."
-Jamie on the topic of Sophia Grace and Rosie
bahahahahaha. Yes, this rant about these girls totally happened yesterday over the phone. Most people think they are funny but I think it's because they are so over used lately that the Smith house just can't stand them. hahaha. Note--she really wouldn't punch a little girl in the face but she was serious about not wanting her TV to break.
"I love it when you smell so good that you'd make out with yourself."
-Bradlee talking about my perfume.
haha. So I know the video I posted yesterday doesn't really help my case when I say that he didn't mean this literally. haha But that's a good way to look at perfume and cologne. I mean, I love smelling good just as much as anyone else. So if you try a scent and you find yourself smelling so good that that you'd make out with yourself (again, not literally because that would just be awkward), I think you definitely have a winner.. Thank you, Bradlee for shedding light on the topic and confirming the winning perfume. ha
"I'm not supposed to say words like stupid in front of Mason...Or Douche bag." -mom
"HAHAHA. Did Jamie specifically tell you not to say douche bag in front of the baby?" -me
"No. It's just the first word that popped into my head." -mom
hahahaha. This gave me a good laugh this morning. First of all because I'm not sure why she would say DB in front of Mason or why it's the first word that popped into her head but I did laugh pretty hard when she ended our convo with "don't go putting that on your blog!!!" haha. SORRY, mom! That's your punishment for saying Douche bag this morning. You feelin' me?! ;)
-Tamera about Alexis, Real Housewives of OC
I used the word boobs instead because mom doesn't like the "Titty" word. [haha. oops. I might has well have just written it correctly.] I just think it's funny she said this about her on the same season where Tamera had her breast reduction and started referring to herself as a member of the "itty bitty titty committee" every other episode. Let's just say, this girl had a TON removed herself and she's STILL a C. But really she makes a good point. I don't think boobs should be bigger than your head like Alexis' dis-proportioned body.

Long Weekend.
What a great long weekend jammed packed with fabulously fun people whom I adore. Sure, I would have loved to spend time with my family back home but my friends here always seem to make up for it in one way or another. I didn't do all of the little things I'd planned on doing...I guess because I was just setting myself up for a weekend without anything to do. Who was I kidding?!
-I deep cleaned/organized my bathroom.
-Watched the first episode of Revenge, only to find out that neither ABC.com or Netflix didn't have the other episodes online that I needed. mega bummed, to say the least. BOO.
-Went to my second ever ReAl Salt Lake Game. It was cold but the last 15 minutes of the game was actually exciting. We just wished the drunks in front of us would have shown up sooner. Apparently they knew that only the last 15 minutes were exciting. Thanks, Homies for spilling your beer and making it stink and for letting us in on the secret about coming late. Meh. They were entertaining.
-Went to Hooters. Caught the end of the UFC fight. *Drool* [over the wings, DUH]
-Went to the Zoo again. Loved being out in the nice weather with some of the friendlies:)
 |
| Aren't these girls GORG?! |
-Went to a Family BBQ with Liz! [See, this is what I'm talking about.... I love my friends for making me feel like I have a family away from home.]
-Went out to Justin's for Golfing, shooting guns, chilling by the fire, making smores... and...
What has this world come too? Trusting a smart phone to rate how good we are at kissing? smh. ridiculously pathetic/hilarious.
For the record--he finally tied Willy with a 99 out of 100. ha.
We're a little special.

A long weekend to Breathe.
You know you didn't get enough sleep (the last two nights) when you wake up and you only have 5 Facebook updates to catch up on from all of your FB friends. That and you show up to work and think, "omg, what am I wearing?" But I guess that's just how it goes in the summer: Hang out almost every night, stay up too late, catch up on all the drama, occasionally sleep through your alarm, go to work, and do it all over again. It's a tough life being young and single, I tell ya!
Surprisingly, I'm awake today and somehow got to work BEFORE the 8 o'clock hour. I give full credit to the fact that I'm super excited that today is Friday and we have a long weekend ahead of us. H-to the ELL- to the- YES! I don't really have any big plans for the weekend at all but sometimes those are the best. I've pretty much decided that I will enjoy it either way. I plan on cleaning, sleeping, doing a little laundry/organizing, hanging out, making a Sephora run and, per Nieko's request==finally sitting down to watch the first Season of Revenge. It should be a great weekend I think :) [the only thing that would make it better was if I didn't have a Linger Longer to do on Sunday. fml.]
Here are some Random things in my brain as of late to help me clear my mind and kick off the weekend:
Wednesday night Nieko was reading stuff to me from #mindblown on Twitter and on the real.. My mind was blown multiple times. Like have you ever thought about this? :
If you're born deaf, what language do you think in?
mind blown.
I honestly still can't stop thinking about that. Sometimes I let my thoughts go so far to think..wait, how do they even have thoughts? But then I backed up and realized I was just getting ridiculous. But really? Do they think in Russian, Spanish, English, or something Asian? They've never heard words or the way people around them are speaking. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more my mind is blown.
You've heard people say that they learn something from everyone they meet, right? Is it bad that when it comes to a lot of people, I mostly just learn how to not be stupid? That might sound horrible but it's true lately. I just feel like I'm surrounded by all sorts of dumb and then all I think is "wow, I really need to learn how to be more kind." Working on it. Of course I take in a lot of good too but that's besides the point.
I really do believe that everything happens for a reason. One of my favorite things is having an "A HA" moment where I think "omg, If I wouldn't have done this, or gone through that, I wouldn't be here today or I wouldn't understand it the way I do now." I love it. And normally those things were huge trials that happened way back when that now, are just "little lessons I learned upon a time."
If there is something that you need to do and you feel like you'll never get your mind off of it until you do it--just do it!
It's official--Hansen's have bad teeth. I feel bad for any future kids I may have because seriously, it's not fun. I recently had a root canal done (my second one) and we just found out that now Cole has to have some work done too. Oh but HELLO, he's in Canada. Do they take American insurance over there? of course not. So now we are in the process of trying to figure out what to do and he's facing some big decisions (such is life). So with that, and some previous events that went down this last week, my heart and my brain just hurt. [Like I've said before, I just get too wrapped up in people's lives].
Sometimes life just gets so overwhelming. Some people will inevitably screw you over, jobs won't work out, you'll get stressed, people won't have your back when you need them, you'll have illnesses, things won't go the way you planned them too, and bills will always come. It's easy to let all of these things get you down because, let's be honest, most of them tend to hit all at once it seems. The easiest thing for us to do is to want to run away or ignore the situation hoping that it will just get better or (my favorite) we just want someone else to solve it for us or to tell us what to do because it's THAT overwhelming. But we know that it doesn't work that way.
Friends, whatever you are going through, (and I am right there with you) we have to push through it, no matter what. I think the most important thing that I've realized when I've been faced with things like this is that we have to trust ourselves and what we want to do while relying on the lord and our close family and friends for the back up and comfort. We can't care about what people think about us but we have to be aware of the people around us and the lives that we are effecting as well.... Life just gets hard sometimes but we have to push through, trust ourselves, and have faith.
In the game of life you have to take risks and gamble because if you don't gamble then you don't progress. But remember to be smart with each move you make. Sometimes you have to go all in and trust your gut. Sometimes you have to fold. Sometimes you feel like you lose everything but all you need is that ONE chip to keep you in the game. Whatever that one thing is--hold on to it. Don't lose it. I surely don't know all answers, I can't count cards and I don't know a lot of tricks to make things easy ...But I do know that you don't get better at anything without practice, learning to call people's bluff, trusting your gut, and taking a leap of faith.
Alright, I'm going to stop because I realized I just went off for way too long. But see, unlike people who are keeping things inside, I feel better!
Cheers to the FREAKING weekend.
--Praying for some reality checks, positive confrontations, peace and comfort for my loved ones, sleep, relaxation and some fun.
Have a great long weekend!
don't be dumb.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best sister in the whole wide world!! I love you, Jamie :) :)

Wednesday!
As we transition into the summer, things have been a little different around here and in my life in general. I'm not saying it's different in a bad way but it's been noticeably different this last week. One thing that I'm definitely thankful for recently are the consistent people in my life who never cease to make me laugh.
These are some of those people :)
"Cannibal, you were born this way."
-Me and Nieko
It's true. Nieko and I both think Gaga included this in her song. I mean, she talks about everyone else in it. Cannibals are real too, VICKY!
"Are you sure it's not Ke$ha's song "Cannibal" you are thinking about?"
-Vicky
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No Vicky. Like we'd really get Ke$ha and Gaga lyrics mixed up. puhlease! We were singing the right song with the lyrics as we remember them!
"Is it just you and the Willinator there?"
-Sister Jamie who's never met Willy
hahaha. I love that she's never met him but she has a nickname for him. But yeah, this nickname is a thing now.
"I have to Urinate!"
-Hoda
Hoda, KLG and I are kindred spirits, I swear. I laughed so hard when she said this on the show...mostly because she was laughing about what KLG had to say about big boobs, saggy boobs, and all sorts of boobs. Yeah, we'd so be friends.
"Every time we watch a funny movie at your house, you cry."
-Nieko
Ok, can I clear up the "every time" thing because that sounds like it's happened a billion times. For the record, I've only watched 2 funny movies with Nieko at my house. (We try not to watch movies because we like talking..haha) So yes, it's 2 for 2..But really?! we all know that I'm an emotional person sometimes. The Bridesmaid thing was a fluke and some real life crap went down during Superstar. Oh geezz. yet another thing he will never let me live down. Add it to the list!
"He is one fine piece of A"
-Vicky
Hahaha. Ok. I'm surprised I'm still alive to write this down right now because I laughed so hard when she said this about one of the guys we've hung out with a few times. I was cheering him on and she (in a super black way) INSTANTLY responded with that ^^^ and totally meant it. Oh, did I mention we were at the church? We so were. Oh "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Vicky."
"I watched Superstar today and it reminded me of you and how you'd act by yourself in real life."
-Nieko
ummm. yeah, that happened. I couldn't actually find the clip of the part(s) he was talking about that reminded him of me but if you've seen the movie he said it was the parts where she's dancing around all weird in her room by herself. REALLY? I don't do that...often. haha. jk. whatevs. I love that movie so I guess I will take it as a compliment? *insert sad face and....one of these irrational lashing outs:
"Ready for Kissing!"
-Liz
I won't mention what was going on at this moment but hahahahaha--Oh, Esther! Jump on it. Jump on it. ;) (or be prepared to suffer the consequences while we reap the reward. muahhhahahahahaha.)
"You're just like Brad but with the paranormal."
-Amanda
hahaha. High Five, Amanda! Fact--Brad likes watching weightlifting videos and such. Fact numbero dos--Amanda pointed out that Liz is equally obsessed with ghosts and spirits and such. haha ok, maybe not equally obsessed but it was super funny!
"You look like Carly Rae Jeppson." -Me clearly talking to Liz
"ME?!?!?" -Willy
I'm not joking. He really thought I was talking to him. Yes willy, you look just like Carly Rae Jeppson! "Call me Maybe?!" ;)
"He's not a wiener." -Jamie
"Um, all guys are wieners." -Me.
"Yeah...." -Jamie
Ok, don't get me wrong we really don't just sit bash on men; We love men. I mean, we've always been better friends with guys usually and Jamie is totally married. But the comment worked with what we were talking about. All guys are wieners about something in life. Just like all girls are stupid when it comes to most things. It's a real life thing.
"Ewwww. People are creepy."
-Mom after she laughed about my encounter with, yet another creepy old man.
Savanna and I have joked multiple times about the fact that I only get hit on by a couple different kinds of people 1.) Mexicans and 2.) Creepy old men. It's a curse, I swear. The creepy old man thing, though, happens way too often. And why does it always have to be while I'm driving? [Actually.. that's probably better than NOT in my car, but still.]
Yesterday's creepy man is right up there with taking the award for being the creepiest. Let's just say it was about 8 minutes on Legacy of trying to speed up/slow down so I didn't have him driving right next to me starring, nodding his head, and being super creepy. I'm not exaggerating. If I'd slow down, he'd do a complete head turn while driving. nightmare. Do I have an "I heart old men" or "Blonde and Easy" bumper sticker on my car or something that makes you think that I'd be interested or pull over or something? No. Get real, dude--You could be my dad!
"I was hoping you wouldn’t have a RHWof Utah moment. Even though it might have been a little cool."
-Savanna
hahaha. We totally understand each other :)

I love Random followers
This rarely happens but sometimes I get random people who stumble across my blog for whatever reason and sometimes they comment..... :)
This week I got someone who actually made a Douche bag Jar after they read my post from a while ago! hahaha
